from king_elemen@hotmail.com Empire Technologies Tenchi, meet your match part one By Elemen the Bard blurb: Prologe to "hearts of darkness and souls of light" part one (Stanard disclaimer ramblings about AIC/pioneer and Viz comics owning Tenchi and such, but the full disclaimer is at the bottom. Also give me a break this is one of my first fan-fics so, ah never mind let's just get on with the story) present: masaki house The day was bright, the air was humid, and Ryoko was in a bakini, getting a tan. Tenchi, as usual, was tending the fields, and his father, taking the oportunity was filming Ryoko lying there. Sasami was inside cooking lunch, and everyone else was enjoying the moment of calm. Because they knew it wouldn't last. "Man it's hot," Tenchi remarked wiping his brow with his sleeve. "I know, ooohhh, I don't remember the last time it was this hot around here," Mihoshi said back, fanning herself with her hand. "Unlike me, Mihoshi, you can go inside where there is air conditioning." "Oh, that's right, Cya later Tenchi," Mihoshi said as she zipped inside. Soon a loud sigh and some hissing can be heard inside. "That Mihoshi, hehe, oh well back to work." Tenchi had barely hit the ground with his hoe once when his watch beeped at him. "What the... of course Washuu," he brought his watch up and pressed a button that wasn't there last night. "Tenchi! Hi!" Washuu said way to cheerfully. "Washuu, What did you do to my watch?" "Oh don't worry Tenchi I just made it so I could reach you at any time. Right now I called you to tell you that I have company." "How does your company involve me?" "Take a look," the picture suddenly changed to a security cam tape. It showed three people standing in the middle of a specimen tank. The most promenent one was standing on a creature that seemed to have repeated slash marks on it, but none had peirced the skin. The creature was obviously dead and the person on it must have killed it. The man who was standing on it looked straight at the secure cam, as if he knew where it was. He had a long black cloak on, leather boots, and leather swordsmen's gauntlets. His skin was unearthly pale, he had sandy hair and was semi-small. But the most strikeing thing about him was his eyes, the size and shape was normal, but he had no pupils. His irises were there but they seemed to engulf the eyes, and they were steel grey. The first of his belived associates was a girl who had had sky blue hair and seemed to be acting like a more hyper-active Mihoshi. She wore something like a flight jumpsuit and gloves. No boots. She also had no pupils, but had blue irises. His other associate looked a little more normal, even though none of them looked exactly normal. She wore a charcoal grey kimono and had her coal black hair back in a pony-tail. She had pupils but crimson red irises. She acted like a less composed Kiyone. "Now this is being transferred to you as the information is recived Tenchi," Washuu said snapping him out of his trance. "You mean they're there now?" "What's up?" Ryoko said, still in her bakini and sliding a hand over his shoulder, then pressing against his back. Tenchi knew that Aeka would show up and blow up at Ryoko if he didn't do something quick. Washuu did it for him "Ryoko this is important so I would like you, Tenchi, Aeka, Sasami, and Ryo-ohki to get to my lab quickly, not Mihoshi this is to important to mess up." "Huh. Ok Washuu-chan," Ryoko phased into more suitable clothes and ran off. Nobiyuki can be heard curseing from a window. "We'll be right there Washuu," Tenchi said as he pressed the button and ran inside. * * * The whole group had convened in Washuu's lab and were discussing what had happened. "Tenchi soon after you hung up he shot the secure cam," Washuu said, unhappy. "How did you say they got in again?" asked Aeka. "Simple, the secure cam malfuntioned for one second the, photon regester went off the scale for one second and when they came back on he had killed specimen number: 19237406 and the blue haired one was jumping for joy saying things like 'oh Gos oh Gos oh Gos thank you for saving me'," Washuu replied. "I dont care how they got here I want to know what they want," Tenchi said, looking sirious. "What I want is simple," every one turned around to see the trio they were discussing standing right behind them. "I want to go home," the one talking was the man. He looked about two inches shorter that tenchi. "I want to be with him," the blue haired one said pointing at the guy. "And I owe Gos my life." the kimonoed one said. "I'm sorry, but I don't see any birds around here," commented Washuu looking around, and acting stupid. "My name is Gos," the man said, bowing low to the ground on one knee. "My aren't you the prince." Ryoko remarked, sarcasicly. "Actually I am," Gos said standing again. "Where of?" asked Washuu, seeming very interested. "I am not allowed to tell you outright, so," he raised his right hand and called out: "Sling: forest sword," immeadiatly a sword shape glowed red in the air and a sword fell into his hand. The Sword's blade was nothing special exept it had a little too much light shining off of it, espcially because it was in a shadow. The hilt on the other hand had two gems embedded in it. The first was put where the blade meets the hilt and it glowed a faint green glow. The second was the pommel and it shone with a bright green light. "Ah-ha! You gave me two clues and I all ready know where you're a prince of," Washuu shouted jumping up out of her new Hover Chair (TM). Gos just stared at her in dis belief. "Your bluffing." "Am I, o' prince of dathen." Now Gos's eyes were as wide as dinner plates. "How did you know that?" "I watch other universes and you've been in a lot of them." "That isn't my fault." "Ech-hem, Gos, could you introduce us please," the black haired girl said in a purturbed tone. "Uhhh, Yeah I was just getting to that," Gos replied, loseing his composure into something reminissant of fear. "My friend over here," he said, motioning at the girl in the kimono, "Is named Raye Blaze." "I am not _your_ friend," Raye announced, glareing at Gos. "Oohhh, introduce me, Gos introduce me," the blue haired girl said jumping up and down. "And my other friend is named Meshec. I have a third friend somewhere, but I don't know where at the moment." "You mean that I have another person running around _my_ lab?" Washuu asked, horrified that there might be another person that _she_ didn't detect. "Well maybe, but I doubt it. Nova usually finds me when I am in the same demension as us--" he was cut off as someone jumped down from above and grabbed Gos in a head-lock. "Nova! Hi!" Meshec cried as the humanoid began to noogie Gos vigorously. "HA! Still too slow Gos. If I could jump ya, how do you expect to beat antorell, let alone Phantom," Nova said jumping off of Gos. "I make up for my lack of danger sense with power house," Gos said, punching Nova into one of Washuu's machines. "Hey! Be careful! You might have damaged something!" Washuu yelped. "Yeah, like his friend," muttered Tenchi "Nova, no he's fine in fac ther he i--," Gos was cut off by Nova's fist. "Weirdos," Raye muttered, "OK, guys let's go somewhere where we can sit," she said, decideing that she was tired of standing. Gos lost his comosure again and hastily agreed. Nova buryed his face in his hands. Meshec was happy (as always), and the normal crew was very confused. *#######*#######* natsu rian(dark portal): past, 1970 *"I won't let you hurt...

More like as she melted the couch, you could hear the fabric sizzle. Tenchi looked as if he was trying to catch flies with his mouth it was so wide open. He closed his mouth and sat back in his chair. 'Dad is going to kill me' Tenchi thought as he knew what had happened to the couch. "So why are you here again?" Tenchi asked Gos and his companions. "The answer is simple, we are here because I am cused to wander through many different universes. (and the authour wanted us here but thats beside the) OW!!" Gos said the final part after a brick fell out of nowhere and onto his head. "That's what you get for revealing the plot," a booming voice said, it was the bard. "Man, he never lets up, he is such an idiot," Raye remarked looking at Gos. Suddenly the wall to Tenchi's left exploded inward, and a small man walked through..... ********************************************************************** Authour's notes: hi! thanks for reading this, it is one of my first Tenchi fics so how did you like it.
